i dont think any one of the group who went hates akuma. at least, i know i dont. we're all pretty good friends and i dont think this trip will change that. (assuming he simply misspoke himself when saying he only cared about fancy)

So he goes up to the counter and asks for a pack of cigs and a lighter, and picks a white bic lighter and puts it on the counter. The indian guy, much to my chagrin says to FC "white is bad luck, shouldn't pick white."

I just look at him and think to myself FC looks at him and this is what follows:

FancyCat: White isn't a bad color, whites a good color. BLACK is a bad color.

Nah.. first of all I definitely don't think Mike did any of that **** maliciously. In his own mind, he really wanted to show everyone a good time. He probably wasn't even aware of his own selfishness and how it was affecting his friends. This just makes him stupid, not a bad person

Also the fact that this trip was on his home turf, and that he was responsible for most of the planning, is what brought all of this **** to the surface, whereas previously there was no pressure on him to come through for everyone when all of these guys chilled together before.

im pretty sure all of us would be glad to hang out with mike again...

as long as he didnt plan it.

yeah we'll all gladly hang out with him again, its just going to be planned by someone responsible this time with common sense.
